So only the democrats need to give in? Just cut medical care for the poor and elderly to give more money to billionaire class and we are back in business. I voted for helping the poor in America more than venusuela, or ballrooms,or golf trips.

Good grief, if you voted for a candidate of either main party you damn sure weren’t voting for helping the poor. That notion is laughable. The government doesn’t help the poor, it makes sure that the poor stay dependent on said government.

What? He's made more money in the last 9 months than he has ever made in his entire life. My God, Man. He was leveraged so heavily that he had to steal from his charitable foundation to stay afloat.

AI Overview

Yes, Donald Trump's net worth has fluctuated significantly, experiencing a major decline during his presidency and in 2025 due to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, legal challenges, and real estate struggles. However, it has also seen sharp increases, notably with the resurgence of his real estate licensing deals and stock performance.

  • Decline during presidency:
    His net worth dropped by roughly $1.1 billion during his term, from about $3.5 billion to $2.4 billion, partly due to the pandemic's impact on his business assets.

  • Decline in early 2025:
    Forbes reported a drop of about $1.5 billion between January and March 2025, a decline attributed to high interest rates and market volatility.

    • Increase in 2025:
      Despite the earlier decline, his net worth reportedly increased by a significant $3 billion in 2024, boosted by a recovery in his real estate licensing and the performance of his golf and club portfolio.
    • Recent fluctuations:
      In August 2025, his net worth reportedly jumped by about $500 million after a court ruling wiped out a portion of the liability from his civil fraud judgment.
    • Overall trend:
      While his net worth has experienced sharp declines at various times, recent reports suggest a recent net increase due to renewed business activity and legal victories

So you also think Americans are leverage. The Democrats aren’t helping the poor they are hurting them with the Schumer Shutdown. Everyone knows now the ACA isn’t good now

Right now, his net worth is as high as its ever been. See Forbes article attached earlier. He's got roughly 4.5-5B of net worth from meme coins and Truth. (These are volatile assets and value can move quickly either direction)

To be fair, his real estate empire has significantly underperformed since 2015 but he has recently far more covered those losses with meme coins and Truth...

Medical care wasn't cut. Medicare coverage and ACA subsidies were reduced 15%. Coverage and care are not the same.

the Big Beautiful Bill had 5 tax provisions. If you can find the "give money to billionaires", I'd like to discuss it.
  • Tax on Tips: A new deduction was created for qualified tips (up to $25,000 annually) received by workers in certain occupations.
  • Overtime Pay: A deduction for qualified overtime compensation (up to $12,500 for single filers, $25,000 for joint filers) was introduced.
  • Standard Deduction & Tax Brackets: The standard deduction was increased and the existing individual income tax brackets were made permanent.
  • Child Tax Credit: The credit was increased to $2,200 per child.
    • Business Provisions: The 20% pass-through deduction for small businesses and the ability to immediately deduct R&D expenses were made permanent

I am delighted to see cuts in spending both at home and abroad. My understanding is the ballroom is being built through private donations.

So he did lose net worth while being President from 2016 to 2020. 2020 to 2024 while not being President Trump got his net worth back up because of the meme coins and Truth Social.

He lost net worth from 2016 to 2019. I do think a lot of that was continued underperformance he had with his real estate empire (heavily into golf courses, which had struggled). Some of that was yeah, he pissed off 40% of the country.

He's made more the last 12-13 months than he ever has from Truth and meme coins.

Depends what AI you use. Most have a disclaimer about not being correct. It's pulling info from all over the internet. Remember there are people on this board who belive in QANON and Trump Russian pee parties..sourced from the net. I'd take it all with big grains of salt.

California billionaires face proposed one-time wealth tax

The proposed “2026 Billionaire Tax Act" would impose a one-time 5% tax on California billionaires’ net worth to replace billions in lost federal funding for the state's Medicaid program.

People bought his meme coins? I thought it was from hawking Trump branded dinner plates from his webshop.
